I just got a rejection from my dream job and I feel defeated. I interned at this place last summer where I worked on successful projects and made great connections. I even had a good relationship with the team and maintained personal connection with someone post internship.

I went through the final round of interviews and got the call today. It was very polite and reassuring that it wasn’t anything personal they were just looking for a specific skills set that someone else had more of.

I knew it was a possibility that I would not get accepted. However, I did not predict how much it would hurt. I almost feel embarrassed for being rejected from a place I already had a foot in the door.

Has anyone else been through this and have any advice?
